91BlckGT "Midlife Crisis" Training Log

[91blckgt]

sure do miss doing back or legs.

Seated Press 35x10, 55x5, 70x5, 85x3, 105x5, 115x3, 130x3 (PR*), 115x3, 105x5
Not all that impressive a rep count, but the most times I've lifted 130 since I started keeping track. My all time PR was 140x3, so I'm still not quite there, but that set likely had push press elements, and this was all clean seated. Not sure if these gains will carry forward a month from now when I start standing again.
Pull Ups 10, 10

First day wearing both pairs of Do-Wins again. Hopefully get a little leg drive.

Ate a lot of hallloween candy, not feeling the back row mojo.

Squat!!! 55x10. Yeah, I know, tiny baby weight, but first squats in a long time, just wanted to get the groove back.

[91blckgt]

Squats! 45x10x2. Foot was feeling rough as I have a bruise above and below the break. Increased volume to two sets of 10 to try and get my muscles used to it. Next Wednesday session I'll jump to 3 sets of 45, and then start bumping the weight up slowly and testing my comfort level.
Bench 35x10, 90x5, 165x5, 190x3, 210x7 (rep and calculated 1RM of 258 PR!), +5% joker set 220x1 (Not just a PR for 5/3/1, new PR period since starting SS!!), 190x3, 165x8
BW Chinups 5,8

[91blckgt]

Squat 35x5, 45x5, 55x5, 65x5, 85x5
Press 35x5, 60x5, 70x5, 85x3, 105x5, 120x3, 135x1*

*Tried for a second rep, got halfway up, and felt something uncomfortable happen in my lower back. Nothing serious, but that's a warning sign that I should stop here for the night. Got my rep counts in at least.

[91blckgt]

Squat 35x5, 55x5, 65x3, 85x5x2
Bench 90x5, 115x5, 135x3, 150x5, 170x5, 195x8, 175x5
Deadlift 55x10*
*First time since I broke my foot deadliftng, just wanted to practice the move.
Barbell Rows 55x5, 105x5x2

Today marks the 7th cycle of 5/3/1 for me, and the last of the two week "press" cycles as I work up to the disney trip. After the trip I'll return to the 3 or 4 day cycles and work squats / DL back in. For the next 6 lifting session I'm going to bump the squat by 10lb to get some baseline strength back.

Press!* 45x5, 60x5, 75x5, 90x3, 95x5, 110x5, 125x7! New PR!!! 145x0 (worth a shot, but no), 105x7, 85x7

The entire set was done standing, which is the first time I did that since breaking my foot. I was worried I'd have to drop the weight after growing accustomed to seating, but turns out I was even stronger standing! Awesome.

Weighted Chinups +10lbx7, 7
weighted pullup. 10x5

[91blckgt]

squat 85x1, 95x5x2, 105x10 I skipped the warmup. I know, I know, bad idea. The weight was still racked from press, and it's soooo light. So I jumped to a set of 10 at the end. I'll probably stick with a +10lb or more increase for each workout until I'm back in fighting form.
Bench 90x5, 115x5, 135x3, 165x3, 180x3, 205x6 (rep PR). Still a little off from my PR of 210x7 a few weeks back, but still respectable. I tried for 7, but failed the rep.
